52 Journal R.E. Johnson 1968 May 3 Berkeley to Patterson Livermore, Calif. & returns. set traps for ground squirrels. I heard one chirp from a barren area beside the road. The Coral Hollow area has short grass cover & many barren patches and looks idea for ground squirrels. I checked with Mr. Bob Connley of the Connley Ranch and he was enthusiastic about trapping ground squirrels on his property & suggested a location next to his barn & coral area where he sees them often & plans to poison in a month. A guard at the Lawrence Radiation Lab Test Site gave me the name & phone number of another land owner in the area, C.C. McCumber of Livermore (phone Hilltop 72168) owns the property along the road adjoining the test site. I did contact McCumber however. [map diagram] I then drove east to Interstate 5, then North to Patterson Pass, then west again to Patterson & back to Berkeley.
